Our October 2023 stay
On the plus side beautiful property and neighborhood. Older place so furniture and beds/pillows etc are a bit dated. This property was managed by Big Bear Vacations, which was a little different than our pervious VRBO rentals. They will make you fill out their own significant rental agreement. Just wasn't something we were used to. Had everything we needed in the kitchen. Furnace wasn't working when we got there, but they were responsive and brought us space heaters and some kindled for the wood stove. Got the furnace fixed the next day. Only complaint was the lack of communication as to when someone would come and when they got it completed. Only 1/2 the hottub jets are working, and the disposal leaked below kitchen sink when it was running. Let them know about it so that should be fixed soon. Read the fine print in the rental contract. They make you haul all your own trash to a trash site and will charge you $25 per bag of trash left behind, and $25 of you leave them a sink full of dirty dishes. Makes one wonder what the all the cleaning fee is for. Other than these few things, we liked this place and the location.

Cozy
Cozy cabin. Felt very relaxed. Amazed with the amount of pans and pots they had. They had what was needed to cook with. Make sure you bring your own spices though. Everything was a short drive and the walk to the lake was nice.
